  • I stumble upon the Oregon Motherlode while gold prospecting. Just a few feet from where I have been working. Extreamy rich ground loaded with gold.

    Being in AK, we have a different definition of “mother lode”. LOL!
    But it’s always nice watching other prospectors having fun.
    Thanks for the video.

    Yup. I started panning myself. After working for years for 500$ a week toiling in labor jobs. Hostile management. Just to pay rent and live. Now I make at least $500 a week, enjoy life again. Though I live out of the back of my truck lol. I'm finally banking money instead of paying it all out to live. I'll have a brand new RV paid for this year. Happy hunting.

    just sweat involved, no blood, and you can get everything out of those loaded crevices.💰💵

      I haven't heard of much gold panning around that area. I would recommend going somewhere on the Rogue river, or the Applegate river, I know those have public recreational panning areas, as well as cow creek over by Canyonville. The coast is always an option aswell (gold beach, whisky run beach) really small gold on the beach though, but alot of it :)
      I hope you and your son get the gold fever :) it's a really amazing hobby
